"And the winner of Best Album of the Year" Peter was the host of the Grammys. He had a likable personality and a good sense of humor. "Is Lilith Morningstar for her hit album The Fall from Eden". Everyone started clapping except for two people.
"Are you fucking kidding me!" Adam fumed. "I should have won! I taught that bitch everything" he leaned back angrily in his seat. He crossed his arms over himself. "I mean seriously where does she get off!"
"Sir" Lute was sitting next to him. Even though she was his manager he wanted her as his plus one. "You deserved to win but must I remind you. You need to look professional. Sera doesn't want to deal with another PR scandal." Lute knew the cameras were watching them like hawks.
"After this, I'm getting so fucking drunk" Adam huffed. Lilith winning felt like a betrayal. He had done everything for her yet she still left him like the scumbag she was.
Lute rolled her eyes unsure how to respond. Adam really did act like a child from time to time or day to day. She did feel bad for him. His album deserved to win. He had an excellent voice and killer talent. The way he could play the guitar was mesmerizing.
Lilith wrapped up her speech. She thanked her adoring husband Lucifer. Another jab at Adam. Adam just sat there. He wanted to say something but if he did Sera and Lute would have his head. His love life was already messy enough. When he and Lilith divorced it was a show, to say the least. Then with Eve, shit hit the fan even more. He was also caught with his random fan girls from time to time. It of course got him in trouble. As he watched Lilith sit back and down and kiss her husband he felt a burning rage.

"Why is she with him" Adam hissed. He downed a bottle of whisky. He and Lute were at his penthouse. His penthouse was massive and he decorated it to mimic heaven. It was a bit much for Lute but Adam made it work. She was sitting next to him at his personal bar. She was surprised he didn't want to go out and party like he usually did. Instead, he wanted to sit here. She didn't know how badly Lilith messed him up until now. It was uncanny seeing Adam this upset. "He's 5 fucking 2. I'm 6 feet!" He was more of 5'10 but Lute knew not to correct him now. "and she picked him! I taught her everything! I taught her to play the guitar my guitar! Instead, she picks a man who wrote a song on rubber ducks!" he slammed the bottle down. "What does he have that I don't have!""I don't know sir" Lute lightly patted Adam's shoulder. He had taken off his suit jacket but had his dress shirt on. The sleeves were rolled up and Lute saw his tattoos. She had always admired them. "At least you won best male artist of the year" she tried to reassure him.
"Yeah for like the fifty fucking time in a row." he sighed. "I've only won album of the year once. I actually tried this year. The other time I won was when she and I were together" He looked at his bottle. He wanted tonight to be fun instead he was here. Complaining and bitching about a woman who didn't give a single fuck about him. "I'm sorry" he blurted.
"What?" Lute was unsure if she heard correctly. Adam was not one to say sorry. Unless Sera gave him a look.
He turned and looked at her. "We should be having fun and celebrating I won something at least. Instead, my bitch of a first wife is ruining everything as usual."
"It's alright. You know me. I'm boring. I don't party and when I do I'm with you making sure you don't fuck up" It was true although Lute didn't mind. She was not a fan of drinking. She hated the idea of making herself give up control.
"I've never seen you drunk" Adam rested his head on his hand and looked at Lute. He had to admit she was pretty. He liked her short hair and resting bitch face. She also looked nice in her silver dress. It was hard convincing her to dress up but she gave in.
"I'm a mean drunk," she admitted. "I also don't want to give up control like that. What if I do something stupid or embarrassing"
"See the best part of being drunk is not remembering the stupidness or being embarrassed. It really is liquid courage." He then passed her the bottle. "Come on"
Lute rolled her eyes. It was hard ignoring Adam's pleading eyes. She loved how they both had gold eyes. She sighed. "If I get drunk you need to stay sober. I don't want Sera..."
"Yeah yeah I don't wanna deal with Sera either" Adam interrupted. "But come on you deserve a night off. Especially dealing with my sorry ass and crippling love life." He knew Lute worked her ass off and she deserved some off time. Lute looked at the bottle. She lifted it to her lips and started chugging. She needed a night off. "Hell yeah!" Adam cheered.
She slammed the bottle down. "There you go". She could already feel the alcohol take hold and it felt good.
"Feel better?" Adam asked.
"Yes," she smiled. For once she didn't feel like being mean. Instead, she wanted to be nice. She really was drunk. She then looked at Adam. She loved how he looked. Sure he was an average white dude but he was her average white dude. She also loved his piercings. Her favorite was his eyebrow piercing. She reached out and touched it. Adam was shocked but liked the way her hand felt on his face. "We should get more piercings together"
Adam laughed. "Love it but not now" he was happy to see the alcohol take effect. "Sera would not be too pleased"
Lute rolled her eyes. "Sera needs to calm down. I swear she has the biggest stick up her ass" She liked Sera to an extent. But sometimes rules were meant to be broken.
Adam burst into laughter. He had never heard Lute complain like that. He then wiped a tear from his face. "You're telling me"
The rest of the evening was one of Adam's best nights of his life. It wasn't filled with him being drunk or having sex. It was Lute showing him how she would fight rabid fan girls. She had a spatula and was showing him sword techniques. Except she almost fell multiple times. Adam had to keep catching her. Not that he minded of course.
"Then I would rip out their throat like this!" She tried to do something but started falling Adam caught her.
"I got you" he looked at Lute. Happy she was happy.
"I'm kinda tired now" she yawned.
"Oh shit I have no idea where you live" Adam admitted. He was so obsessed with himself that he never bothered to ask Lute about herself. He made a mental note to ask more about herself. He looked down at Lute. He was still holding her. She was passed out. "I guess you stay here then" he lifted her up bridal style. Surprised at how light she was. He then carried her to one of his many guest rooms and laid her down on the bed. She looked like an angel. He was happy she was a part of his life. He truthfully didn't know what he would do without her. "Goodnight Lutey" he silently shut the door.

Lute awoke the next day. Her head was killing her. She looked around and saw she was in an unfamiliar room... She sat up alarmed. "Where am I" she whispered. It then hit her. She should have known with the golden accessories everywhere and frescos. She was still at Adam's. She didn't remember much from last. But she did remember Adam carrying her. She enjoyed the feeling of his arms around her. She slowly crept out of the room and saw Adam making breakfast."Good morning" he flipped a pancake. "Want some breakfast"
"Yeah," Lute grunted and sat down at the bar. "Can I have some water I feel like shit"
"Yeah you look it" Adam joked and handed her a glass. "By the way, I like drunk you way more"
"I'm sure you do" She sipped the glass. "Did I do anything embarrassing last night?"
Adam laughed. "You showed me ways that you would keep rabid fan girls away" Lute started blushing. "Oh don't worry it was cute"
"Thanks, sir" she grumbled and drank her water. She was never going to get that drunk again around Adam.
